Jiang was a little angry. In the past few days, for her mother-in-law's insistence on marrying her baby daughter to the Luo family's future life, she has been worried, although she recognizes her mother-in-law's painstaking planning for her daughter's future happiness, but she always feels that her daughter can marry a little better, and there are still children of official eunuchs who are honest and sensible and dare not offend the Gu family, there is no need to give in to Luo Mingmin, but she does not dare to refute her mother-in-law, so she has to secretly hope to be estranged from Mrs. Luo Si in her heart, if the husband really obeys the intention of his mother-in-law to propose marriage to the Luo family, then as long as the Luo family does not have that will, Even if his family is a little embarrassed, at least his daughter's future is preserved.

Just when she was happy that the two families finally had an excuse to go their separate ways, there was a problem with the boat booked by the family, what is this called? The previous arrangements in Guihai were not thorough, and she could still say that her younger sister and sister Duan were not properly employed, but the family of Dongping Mansion was sent by Jingli, wouldn't it become her sin? Wrong...... It must be the slut's fault

Thinking like this, Jiang suddenly had confidence, and asked the family with a cold face: "What the hell is going on?" How can a good ship be detained? Who is so bold? Didn't you tell them that it was our Luo family's ship? Suddenly remembering that this family was just a small domestic servant, there was no reason to be responsible for such a big thing, "Should the family send you alone?" "It's so good that she wants to ask, what else does Aunt Yu's slut have to say about the old lady, but the old lady is the master's biological mother, who came all the way to Beijing to see her son, and there was only one little domestic servant who came to greet her? There was a faint smile on Jiang's face.

Everyone present was startled by her sudden momentum, and the family was so frightened that they simply knelt on the ground and replied in a trembling voice: "Back to the words of the eldest lady...... The little one mentioned it at the time, but it was just ......" he trembled and began to kowtow non-stop: "It's not a small matter, it's a second thing...... He wasn't there that night...... When the little ones heard that the old lady, the eldest lady, and the young lady were about to arrive, they took people to the boat to clean up, who knows...... Somehow, the boat parked next to it suddenly made a thief, and the subordinates of the family only said that the thief was hiding on our ship, and they wanted to come to search, but the small ones were unwilling, and they moved in a hurry, and the officers and soldiers came to mediate, I don't know what the family said, the small ones were taken to prison, and let people go to find the second manager, but they couldn't find him, and he didn't rush over until after noon the next day, and I don't know how he told the government, actually...... I was beaten and I can't get out of bed right now......"

As soon as Jiang Shi heard that the second steward was coming, he immediately became deflated, and secretly glanced at his mother-in-law with anxiety, and then reprimanded the family again: "The second steward is at fault, I will ask him, but who is the boat next to you who was on the boat that night?" Even if you take the thief, you also have to have evidence that since you have reported the name of our Gu family, is it possible that the government will not give you any face? ”

The family's eyes flashed, and they quickly bowed down: "The little ones are wronged, it's really not a trivial matter, it's all nonsense of the family, and the little ones have reported the name of the master, but they still don't give up."

Jiang Shi looked at Old Madam Yu tremblingly: "Mother-in-law, look at ......" Wen Hui immediately interjected: "Why don't you ask Dongping Wangfu to come forward?" Anyway, they are relatives, and the palace will never help us."

Wen Yi immediately straightened his waist and asked pretending to be puzzled: "Dongping is the domain of the king of Dongping, is there anything that the palace doesn't know about the big and small things that happen in this realm?" Besides, it involves the official family, since the people below have reported the name of the eldest uncle, it is reasonable, the government should give some face, as the sixth sister said, the eldest uncle's family and the Dongping Wangfu are in-laws, how can the government indiscriminately take people, and also beat the board in charge? Then he asked the family, "How sooner or later is this?" Have you ever been to tell the Dongping Palace? ”

The Gu family stayed in Guihai City for three or four days, and when they went north, the trip was delayed due to the ice floes on the sea, which was several days slower than the original plan. It is impossible for the family members sent by the Shilang Mansion in the capital to arrange the boat to know when they will arrive, but the family just said that they knew that they were almost there, so they went to clean the boat, which shows that someone else told them about the day when the master of the Gu family arrived. Contacted Mrs. Luo Si Zeng Yan that before leaving for the sea, someone had been sent to make arrangements, and with the thoughtful style of the Luo family, they told the Gu family about the eight achievements. But because of the ice floe at sea, their party arrived in Dongping Mansion two days later than originally estimated, which means that the Gu family was beaten and arrested, at least three days ago

For three days, how could the Gu family not find the Dongping Palace? But the ship is still detained, there must be something inside. No matter what the truth is, the palace's move is a bit of a disgrace to the Gu family. This is a good opportunity......

Wen Yi stared at the family member, wondering what he would say.

The family said in a trembling voice, "Little ones...... Been there...... But...... But...... Shut out the door......"

Wen Hui immediately stood up: "How is this possible?" Can you tell me whose family you belong to? ”

"It's clear, but the gatekeeper of the palace just doesn't let the little ones in, and they don't want to pass the word to the little ones......"

Wen Hui wanted to ask again, but Mrs. Yu shouted: "Okay, I'll ask if I have something to say, you are a girl, just sit and listen" Wen Hui was not convinced, and was a little aggrieved and incredulous, biting her lip, she glared at the family. Jiang Shi was in a hurry, hurriedly got up and walked over, hugged her daughter and forced her back to her seat, and sat down next to her, before glaring at the family: "Is it that the porter of the palace has changed people?" Or is the palace busy lately and closed its doors? You're not short of courtesy, are you? If you really can't get in, it's the same to find one or two familiar stewards at the back of the house. Just bring the boat back, it's not a big deal."

Wen Yi nodded again and interjected: "The eldest aunt is right, if those stewards are not willing to help, the princess's companion can always be found, right?" Those are all dowries brought by Princess Dongping from the Liu family, no better than others. ”

Jiang Shi was overjoyed when he heard this: "That's right, it's still my niece who thinks thoughtfully"

Princess Liu of Dongping is the daughter of the Liu family of Heng'an, and the family members who accompany the room are naturally the children of the Liu family, and there are relatives who stay in the Liu family on errands, so they can be controlled, and the current wife of the Liu family is the daughter of the Gu family's room, even if the rest of the palace looks down on the Gu family and refuses to help, the princess's companion must give the Gu family face

The family shrunk their necks: "Little ones...... I searched for everyone I could find, but no one would agree...... It's not that there's something wrong, or it's not at home...... Even the princess's companion room was the same...... The little ones just can't ......."

Jiang's eyes were almost on fire: "What do you mean you can't do it?" This kind of thing...... This kind of thing ......"

Old Madam Yu suddenly opened her mouth: "That night...... Which one is the thief? Do you recognize? ”

Everyone suddenly realized that this was the crux of the matter. Even if there is no royal palace to come forward, just the name of the Shilang Mansion, the Dongping Government should not insist on detaining the boat and beating the talent, most likely because the family's origin is too big, and they would rather offend the Shilang Mansion than the family

The family hurriedly said: "The little one went to inquire the next day, it was the ship of the Huguo Mansion, and the wife and two young ladies of the Huguo Gong were on the boat, and I heard that the lady and the young lady of Dongyang Hou were also on it, and they were preparing to go to Beijing." Because they are all female dependents, their two families are extremely strict. ”

Wen Hui's expression was a little distorted: "Miss of the Dongyang Hou family? Which one is it? Is it the eldest lady of his family? ”

The family was startled and bowed down again: "Yes...... It's the eldest lady from his family......"

Wen Hui's face turned red, and she gritted her teeth: "It turned out that the young lady of their Shanghai family was not a good person, and she loved to go against me since she was a child, and I didn't have to meet again when they went home, but I didn't expect them to come back again...... What do you do when you run back? ”

Jiang Shi looked at his daughter distressedly: "How could it be them?" I have loved to get along with you since I was a child......" Mrs. Yu gritted her teeth: "It's all when I was a child, what do you always remember?" Mrs. Luo Si is still here, don't let her see the joke."

Only then did Jiang Shi react, Mrs. Luo Si was still present, and some words were not easy to say, so he hurriedly shut up.

Wen Hui didn't care much about it, and her mind was full of recalling the hatefulness of those young ladies.

Mrs. Luo Si just didn't hear anything, and snorted: "Children always like to make trouble when they are young, in fact, I was like this when I was a child, and my little daughter was ......."

Jiang's face looked better, she didn't want the Luo family to agree to the marriage, but it was not what she wanted to damage her daughter's reputation She looked at Mrs. Luo, and sighed in her heart, if it weren't for her mother-in-law's thoughts, the other party would be a worthy person.

Wen An, who was sitting in the corner, secretly glanced at Wen Hui, then looked at Mrs. Luo Si, lowered his eyes, and spoke for the first time in a calm voice: "Our Gu family is also an official family, if there is a problem with the ship we hired, then hire another one, and it won't make trouble...... You can't blame the Gu family, right? How does the second steward do things? ”

The family swallowed and replied, "Some time ago...... It was the day before our family's boat was detained, something happened on the dock, it seemed that a few poor people who were doing coolies saw that there was a boat under the banner of the palace docking, and it seemed to be carrying something valuable, so they conspired to steal it. The prince and the prince were furious, and searched the whole city in order to arrest those people, and finally found that they might have fled to the dock in vain to leave by boat, so they ordered that all ships at the dock be seized, and that no ships should leave the port without verification. Now there are no more boats that can be hired on the dock, and the three boats that our family hired before were not detained because of the guarantee of the Gu family, but this incident happened...... No one would let go, so the second steward had to ask the little ones everywhere to see if there was any boat empty, and it had been a few days since they came, and there should be a boat to leave......"

Wen Yi hurriedly asked Mrs. Luo: "Is the Luo family's boat okay?" ”

Mrs. Luo Si smiled at her: "It's okay, the steward of the Fang Cai Commercial Bank has already told me, the ship and manpower are all arranged, as long as we speak, we can leave at any time." ”

Wen Yi actually knew about this for a long time, and asked again at this time, just to let the people in the long room hear, and seeing that Mrs. Luo Si gave the answer in her mind, she immediately turned her head to look at Old Madam Yu, and saw that the latter seemed to be relieved on his face, and couldn't help but be secretly happy in his heart.

Jiang Shi seemed a little incredulous: "The Luo family's ship was not implicated? It's not that ...... Are all boats to be detained and searched? She didn't believe that the Luo family had more face than the Gu family

The person who answered her this time was surprisingly not Mrs. Luo, but the family: "The Luo family's ship is to send tribute to Beijing, and it is to celebrate the birthday of the Queen Mother, not to mention the people in the government, even the palace does not dare to detain it."

Wen An hurriedly asked, "How do you know?" ”

"The people of the Luo family came to find the second steward a few days ago, and the old lady, the eldest lady and the young master and young lady were going to come by the Luo family's boat, and they also told the little ones, so the little ones knew."

Wen An rolled his eyes, and said to the old lady with a smile: "Grandmother, in this case, let's bother Mrs. Luo again, right?" The ship that was detained was hired, and if it was detained, it was detained. If there are any grievances in our family, go to Beijing and tell my father to go."

Wen Hui glared at her younger brother: "How can this be done?" If you don't figure things out, you're willing? Our family's face has been lost, I can't believe that the palace will be so ruthless, it must be the prince and the prince who are busy with that matter, and the people below will take the opportunity to steal and play tricks"

Wen An secretly gritted his teeth: "What does this have to do with us?" Could it be that we can still discipline the subordinates for the palace? I'm not that thick-skinned, and neither are my grandmothers and mothers."

Old Madam Yu glanced at her grandson with some surprise.

Wen Hui's expression changed, a touch of firmness flashed on her face, and she was about to speak, but Wen Yi was one step faster than her: "It's better to leave here earlier, this Dongping Mansion ...... It's the people making trouble again, it's killing people, and it's arresting boats, it's really scary, if we stay on the dock for one more day, there will be one more day of risk. The royal palace acts...... There are also some disregard for relatives...... If you stay any longer, you don't know what will happen" As soon as these words came out, everyone's faces were a little frightened.

Mrs. Luo Si hurriedly said: "That's a good thing, old lady, don't blame me for being troublesome, I see that most of your people are women, there is only one seventh young master, and he is still young, although he is smart and capable, it is not good to show up every day to deal with people in the government." Our two families have been walking together for many days and get along very well, so how can I rest assured that I left you and brought my daughter and family back to Beijing alone? When you return to Beijing, everything is in charge of your lordship, and your relatives and friends can help you talk, it is much better than staying in this unfamiliar place, it is the palace, and when you encounter this kind of thing, I am afraid that you will be anxious."

Old Madam Yu sighed and said to Mrs. Luo Si, "That's exactly what she said. The family is incompetent, and it is difficult to ask us to be the master. Thankfully, you're here, so ...... Please, we're going to bother you for a few more days. ”

Mrs. Luo Si smiled: "You are too polite, dare to have a relationship with me."

Old Madam Yu also smiled, turned her head and instructed the Jiang family to take someone to clean up, and follow Mrs. Luo's people to carry the luggage to the Luo family's boat.

Wen Hui watched in amazement as everyone scattered, packing their bags and going, her eyes were red with anxiety, she gritted her teeth, and caught up with Old Madam Yu: "Grandmother, you listen to me, ......" Before she finished speaking, she was grabbed by Wen An and dragged away, so anxious that she shouted: "Xiao Qi, what are you doing?" ”

Wen An kept silent, without the slightest pity, and dragged her away. Old Madam Yu looked back at the figure of her granddaughter disappearing around the corner, squinted her eyes, called Ruyi, and whispered a few words. Ruyi nodded and took the order.

Wen Yi watched their actions, kept an eye on them, and after a while, she saw Ruyi leading Fang Cai's family into Mrs. Yu's cabin, and after a while, Shuangxi walked out, closed the door of the cabin, and stood outside to guard.

Wen Yi couldn't help but secretly wonder: The eldest uncle and grandmother specially sent the family to question, could it be ...... The detention of the Gu family's boat...... What's the inside story?
